My thoughts on regular season wk 18....

1. For much of the game, I was looking for Matt Canada on the sidelines

2. Najee North/South is a monster..... Najee East/West needs to be banned

3. Jaylen Warren had a game to forget

4. Nice to see Diontae Johnson explode for a big play

5. The refs were totally awful, letting both ravens' OT's hold throughout the game.... missing that obvious face mask on Najee etc.

6. Prayers for TJ Watt

7. The weather was a huge equalizer

8. Mark Robinson gave me hope for his further development

9. Eric Rowe was a great signing

10. Presley Harvin needs to go

 

Spot on!!
Warren was really bad!!!
Those refs should be fined...holding on the last drive was ridiculous!!!
Rowe has been really good!!
Our punter is too inconsistent to play in this league!!
Weather dictated playcalling, but alot of the game it was not good!!
Hopefully TJ injury not serious
Let's go Fins, and Titans!!!

 

Harvin has no place on a NFL roster

 

11. The announcers were so bad

12. Our tackles had some bad play stretches

 

Please ditch harven. I can't stand seeing him out there. Would rather watch boz punt

 

I'm content. The Steelers won.

 

Great win for the Steelers, but TJ getting injured kind of puts a damper it

 

tomlin a genius ,if he had not made Mason ride the bench for two years he would not have been rested enough to beat the ravens .On the other hand we probably would have won the afc north had Mason played the whole season and not have to wait and pray we get in .

 

#10 F yea!!!

 

11. Mason Rudolph completing 90% of his passes and making the HUGE play when needed most in that soggy mess was highly impressive.

He didn’t play a perfect game holding onto the ball a bit too long but his OL, specifically Dan Moore, didn’t do him any favors. The weather was a major hindrance as well. Sitting in the pocket and waiting for routes to develop has resulted in some big plays. In this mess, the receivers were having difficulty pushing upfield and cutting.

 

On the final Ravens drive their OL was literally holding and tackling the defenders and still no holding calls...ridiculous.

 

Backups tonight or not…that’s 7 of 8 from the Ratbirds! Ya baby!

 

#6. Yeah. Pray for Watt. Our W-L record without him is terrible.

 

Aren't you glad now they didn't bench Mason at the half and toss Kenny into the game? Maybe you were just joking when you suggested it - but either way, I'm glad they ultimately stuck with their hot hand, despite the conditions.

 

No comment on Rudolph? I wrote elsewhere that he did what they needed him to do. He mostly took care of the ball and hit a few clutch throws. The one to Johnson was a heck of a play by the quarterback and the receiver.

Rowe is growing on me. I thought he had a shaky game against the Bengals despite the interception, but he has really come through. Robinson played arguably his best game as a Steeler.

Harris mostly stuck to North/South today. He still makes some infuriating cuts outside, but overall, he was a beast again today.

You are right about the officials. They were brutal. I don't think they called as single hold on Baltimore even though they were mugging Highsmith and Watt.

 

I like that he blamed himself for the sacks. I'm not sure that is true on all of them, but at least he knows he holds the ball too long sometimes.

 

That was definitely a joke, lol. I told somebody during the game thread I should have used green font for those whose sarcasm gauges may need calibrating, lol.

 

They key players we lose right for playoff potential over the years is just amazing. Even if he plays nowhere near going to be effective so shut him down. If its a grade 3 zero.zero chance he plays. I hate it and it just blows. Our Defense had the last possible ice cube knocked out from don't break the ice.

 

I missed that part of the game thread. Putting Pickett in cold in a game like that would have been a huge mistake. Just needed to make sure Rudolph was more careful with the ball, which he was in the second half.

 

Plus his tiny hands would have fumbled more than warren

 

Glad Mason got his shot ,really sad and angry that mitch was t0mlins man Crush and the disaster it provided . Give Mason a decent contract and have him start next year as he should have this year.

 

Oddly enough, that hasn't been a big problem for him.

 

Fedex ground and air, two touchdown drives were awesome.

 

Harvin killed us on field position the whole game. Their punter was kicking 55-60 yarders the whole game and Harvin had one punt of 26 yards and several around 35 yards. I can't believe he hasn't been cut yet.

 

If we miss the playoffs, there are primarily two people who bear the most responsibility…
Mike Tomlin and Mitch Trubisky.
